Hi mine are only about half an inch off the floor and are okay the only problem is when on roundabouts or on corners they do catch the floor and make a bit of noise through the car. But hey just turn the radio up a bit cos they look good!!!

I was wondering what you had heard about me when I read the title!

My flaps came with two fixings so you could choose how low to have them. It's all down to personal choice and how low the car is to begin with I suppose.

The best one is turning full lock with mudflaps and reversing. Total nightmare mudflaps are and I'd not recommend them unless you're a rally driver.

i dont geddit. i was thinking about flaps for my scoob, but i dont get how you could catch them when reversing... especially when turning too. what happens, do they bend about and get caught under your tyres?

please explain someone

In my case I reversed up to a curb which caught the mudflap, I overolled the curb slightly
voila slightly removed bumper
will be more careful next time.
